Blessings of Home card ideas; beautiful layouts

January 18, 2022

This week I'm sharing Monochromatic cards made by my Flowerbug's Team members. It was our swap theme this month.

It was a challenge for some but their cards were incredible as usual! Both cards today feature the Blessings of Home bundle; seen here.

This first card was created by Marilyn. Her colors include Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy & White.

Save

She used the large flower image to create a background using Misty Moonlight ink for a pretty tone on tone look. She stamped the flower again on a piece of White CS and used the dies to cut it out. You cannot see in the photo but she added Wink of Stella to the flower.

It's adhered over a pretty Encircled in Beauty Navy die-cut.

Save

This next card was created by Tracey using the same Blessings of Home bundle.

She used 3 different designer papers here – Heart & Home, Hand-Penned & the In Color 6 X 6" prints. I love how our colors & products coordinate so effortlessly. Our color coordination is what brought me to Stampin' Up! and keeps me happy to stay.

Save

Details:

She stamped her flower image in Basic Gray ink and colored it in with Blends markers. It's fussy cut with the coordinating die-cut.
She heat embossed her greeting with White embossing powder onto Designer Paper. What a gorgeous card and a neat layout.
The White CS behind the flower is textured with our new Gingham embossing folder seen here

I was inspired to make this fun chevron card fold when my friend Susie Wood shared hers with me. It's a neat way to use your scraps of designer paper for a unique card front. See hers here.

I chose to use the Botanically Inked designer paper for my cards.

I made one before and one during a recent live video. See it here.

I also created a project sheet with photos and measurements for you to print out. I'm doing this for all of my video projects now! Download Chevron Designer Paper project sheet

I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly!

Inked Botanicals Diagonal Z-fold card; with a free printable project sheet!

August 29, 2023

Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card. Here's the pretty card we made in August:

Save

It's called a Diagonal Z-fold card. You might think it looks a bit intimidating but it's really not. I shared how to make it in a recent video seen here. Plus I have a free project sheet for you as well! Download Diagonal Z-fold card

I textured the Lost Lagoon layer with either the 3D Basics folders or the Painted Texture 3D folder.

Save

My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and White with a bit of Vellum added with the die-cut leaf (Gorgeously Made dies). The other sprig and leaf are from the Bough punch (temporarily out of stock).

Below is the template I made. You start out with an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. Make a mark at 3" down from the upper right and 3" up from the lower left. Cut in half on the diagonal.

Save

Then place the flat side of the card stock on your paper trimmer or scoring board and score at 4 1/4" and 8". That's it!

To create the diagonal layers for each area you start with full rectangles like a normal card and cut off the upper portion at an angle. Measurements are given in the project sheet above.

**I'll be offering a designer paper share later this week; it includes eighty 6 X 6" pieces of our newest, beautiful designer papers – all for $37 including shipping! Let me know if you want in on this; I'm taking names now and can invoice you after Wednesday.

Here's the inside view: I saved 3 of the 4 cut off corners to create a unique way to add my greeting.

My card base is Calypso Coral as well as the ink. The stamps are both from a new set called So Sincere. It's one of my very favorites in the Holiday catalog!
